Since it founding, Alteya has been working hard to provide
employment opportunities and support to local families and population from some
of the poorest villages in the region of the Rose Valley and the Balkan mountain
range in Bulgaria
We give a chance for economic survival to as much as 300 families that through
the years have become our extended family. And we admire and appreciate the
Rose, the Valley and the Nature, which provide for all of us.

We adore nature! Please help us to make Earth a better
place for us and our children.

It is the most beautiful and unique creation in our lives.
Some people are striving to “duplicate” or “improve” it but they always fall far
behind. There is noting more perfect or superb than it. Why not let nature in
you home. Why use synthetics when there are much better natural alternatives?!
Why spend time indoors in an artificial environment, when outdoors could be so
much more inspiring and pleasant?
Please enjoy what Alteya has to offer you and you will feel
every drop of love and admiration.

We love mountains

The Rose Harvest in the Valley:

The period of rose harvesting lasts only 20 to 30 days. The flowers are picked into sacks as early as
possible each day on the basis of flower maturity-unopened buds and flowers are
left for subsequent picking.
Picking is extremely labor intensive. Although there is variation in picker
efficiency, plant size and flower density, the best pickers have not exceeded 6
kgs of flowers/hour, and typically the average is closer to 3 kg of flowers/hour. At 2.5-5.0 g/flower, this represents 200-400
flowers per kilogram.

The harvest

Proud and happy
